KC Walks Their Way to a Wonderful Win

David Ortiz tries to use force to beat Royals

Nice win there.  Dice-K helped us out with 8 walks, but the 2nd base umpire cost us a run and Bannister a few pitches.

Patient hitters, good starting and relief pitching and some great and some decent defense.  Can anyone remember Billy making that good compared to the one he made in the ninth?  

The sweep is still on.  Man, I just hate Boston.

I'm not a big fan

of all the positive things you have listed at the end. Personally, I think there was absolutely nothing good to take away from this game and I’ll be reporting you to Will to let him know you have broken away from the RR Official Negativity Mantra.

But look what he teaches our hitters

He just gritted his way to an 0 for 4 night, including a lazy popup with bases loaded, two out.

The lesson he taught was to not show up opposing pitchers. Dice-K was obviously struggling, so Kendall helped him cool down by telling those pesky KC baserunners to fuck off.

I was in Vegas

last week and I had a plan on how to bet at the sports book. My plan was to bet on every non-Greinke game. Unfortunately, I couldn’t make it to the sports book (first visit to Vegas, so couldn’t do half the things I wanted). But if I had…. I would have walked out with golden Nikes.

by powderbluepower on May 27, 2010 10:59 PM EDT reply actions  

We didn't play exceptionally well

but we won. Our bullpen looked very good and Banny gave us 6 plus. So, we should be happy, right????

by grudz96 on May 27, 2010 11:01 PM EDT reply actions  

How did they play badly?

Didn’t have many hits but 8 walks makes up for that and no errors while one of BoSox runs were due to a umpire in the way. I don’t understand what they did wrong they didn’t play great but for this team great really isn’t much of an option. Pitched well played good defense and ran the bases well, the ballpark might have tagged them on a couple extra base hits to center if Bob Davis was tellin the truth (I didn’t watch)

I'm getting too positive with this team but if they could tread water and stay around 8 games

under thru the Minnesota series then they might have a shot at climbin towards .500 prior to the All Star game.

Now that I’ve said that KC will drop a cool 6+ in a row

I split it with 4 other guys. We all watch games at the same time signed in on the same account. Nothing happens.

Dammit, I shoulda known that this game would be replayed in Japan

of course I just happened to turn it on during the pitching change in the fifth… Oh well, looks like there will still be more fun in this game.

should of had a lot more runs

with 8 walks in the 1st 5 inning, there should have been more runs on the board. luckily we held on
